Recipe's preparation

    Alginate Bath
  1. Combine all ingredients with butterfly, speed 4, 60 sec.

  2. Pour into a flat bottomed container and place in frisge to hydrate and allow air bubbles to clear for at least 15 min or overnight.

  3. Tzatziki Spheres
  4. Chop garlic and herbs - 10 sec speed 7. Scrape down. Repeat until finely chopped.

    Add remaining ingredients and mix well, 45 sec speed 4.

    Set aside in fridge 15 min

  5. To form the spheres, deposit a teasoon "ball" of mixture into the alginate bath. Make sure it is submerged completely to allow membrane to form from contact.

    Loow to sit in bath for 3 min while membrane forms. If you leave it too long, the whole ball will solidify, too short it will pop prematurely.

    Remove from alginate bath with a slotted spoon or fork, and rinse well in a fresh water bath.

    Drain on paper towel and use as soon as practical.

Tip

Keep the ball as smooth as possible when dropping into alginate for the best result
